While typing my reply, i just got another bsod which actually cited a BD related .sys file as the cause.

I just renewed my license, but i think it's still better than a broken piece of hardware.

I will remove BD with the Removal tool and see if it gets rid of the problems. Probably gonna torture the system with a round of the verifier again.

Thank you for the help! I will update if the system runs smoothly now or if the problems persist.

Edit: attached the last dump file, so everything related to the problem is here, just in case someone else runs into similar problems later.

Just noticed that the last bsod cited the exact same file you pointed out, Arc. Some part of the BD firewall. I really hope removing that thing altogether will finally end this bsod madness. This is really driving me mad.

So, my PC is running absolutely fine and has been for the last 3 days.

It turns out it was indeed the BitDefender Firewall Driver that drove it into the ground. Combined with an outdated Chipset driver that caused a couple of bluescreens, which made this whole thing so hard to figure out.

When i tried removing BitDefender to see if it causes the BSODs, the Chipset driver continued to cause errors. I figured BD wasn't at fault and reinstalled it since i had a paid license, which had over 300 days left. I only found out about the chipset driver a little later and fixed it. Now it was BD that caused the BSODs and again i thought i still had to identify the real problem.

Now that i have the updated chipset driver AND removed BD, everything is running smooth!

After about 2 weeks without BSODs, i just had one with the Error Code 124 again. This one happened while i was playing a GPU heavy game while streaming my entire screen via Chromecast (I have never done that before and was playing around with it just to see how it performs.) The BSOD occured after about 15-30 Minutes of playing. Can't say for sure because i wasn't really looking at the time when i started playing, so i had to guess)

I attached the dump file. I'd appreciate any help regarding the cause this time, because bluescreenviewer just points it's finger at the ntoskrnl.exe again.

So, after about 3 different BSODs and some malware related troubles, i dedicded to do a fresh install of windows with just the basics.

I was able to solve 2 BSOD causes (thanks to you guys) before, this reinstall was to get completely rid of the malware (could also have been ad-ware or a virus, i really don't know, it was pretty weird and confusing and stuff just started popping up out of nowhere), just to be safe.

It worked, the only thing left are the 0x124 BSODs, almost exclusively while playing games. Mostly Europa Universalis 4, a very CPU heavy game, so i assume my CPU is the troublemaker. But since i don't have a spare CPU lying around, i can't know for sure and decided to ask here once again.

I'll attach the last 2 dump files. I uploaded them to an online analyzer (since i don't know how to open or interpret them) and it showed something related to "authentic_AMD" or something like that

Since i use both an AMD CPU and GPU, i don't know how to proceed from here.

I really hope it is the CPU, since it still got warranty. If it's the GPU, there's nothing i can do about it right now. Those little *******s are expensive.

Cooling seemed fine (the hottest part was the GPU at 61°C while under constant load. (I don't exactly remember the CPU Temp, but it was definitely below 60.) Tested with The Valley GPU Benchmark ( https://unigine.com/products/valley/ )

Drivers are all completely fresh from the Re-install of windows on Sunday. Directly from the Manufacturers Website (which are Gigabyte for MB Stuff and AMD for GPU Drivers)

I used the Valley Benchmark to test the GPU, HeavyLoad for the CPU and Memtest86 for the Memory (8 Passes over night.) Tested the CPU and GPU for about an hour each. I read up a little about these stress tests and they said that, if the Hardware is going to cave, it will usually do so in the first 15-30 minutes under heavy load.

On Sunday i did the Re-Install, but since i cannot reproduce the issue without the Game installed, i installed the Drivers and the Game that suffers from the Crash (Europa Universalis 4) and the Crash occured again, although kind of randomly. The first day it went fine, the day after that the BSOD happened after about 30 minutes and another one about 60 minutes later.

I also cleaned the complete PC just before i did the re-install. Only thing i couldn't do was the testing with other parts, since i don't own any, unfortunately.

As for the BIOS update, that might be worth a try, but i am a little uncertain about that. I heard that bios updates are tricky and can damage the Board is something goes wrong.

Edit: I just checked on the Gigabyte website and there doesn't appear to be a newer BIOS version for my Board.

Different BSODs in ntoskrnl.exe, (Codes: 0x3b - 0xc5 - 0x124)

3 BSODS in 13 days. error codes: 0xBE, 0x3B, 0x1E_c0000005_RHello,
I've had 3 crashes this month, which seems to identify a problem with my machine. The thing is, I can't seem to find anything in common between the crashes. Nothing seems to match in any of the logs. As far as I can tell two of the crashes indicate some sort of network driver problem,...

When it doesn't blue screen, the games often stop working with an error message and quit to Windows. I tried using Bluescreen viewer to find out which driver was causing it, but the errors are varied...

Windows 7 BSOD - 0x3B ; ntoskrnl.exeHey,
Recently I started getting some really annoying BSOD that crashes my system every time I exit a video game. It occurs the exact moment I end the process.
I tried to investigate what is causing that, but no success so far. I ran memtest86+ (passed), CHKDSK (no errors), sfc /scannow (found...

Daily BSOD with various stop codes 0x1e, 0x3b, 0x7eHello.
I finally gave up all hope trying to solve my problem by myself.
Thing is early this year I started getting very random blue screens mostly blaming ntoskrnl, or other windows services. These blue screens didn't seem to have any real pattern and sometimes occurred when playing games...

BSODs with different error codes, all of them include ntoskrnl.exeHello everyone!
One of the computers at work is crashing with BSODs. The error code is different in each crash. For the last three weeks I've been trying to figure out what is it that it's causing the BSODs, updating drivers and removing a memory module that was added.
I have yet to cicle the...
